Slugma (Japanese: マグマッグ Magmag) is a Fire-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Magcargo starting at level 38.
Biology
Physiology
Slugma are fiery Pokémon that appear to consist entirely of magma. They resemble slugs, with a pair of bright yellow eyes on short stalks and a small mouth. The magma inside its body acts as a circulatory system, transferring vital nutrients and oxygen throughout their bodies.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
As a Fire-type Pokémon composed of magma, Slugma is proficient at using attacks such as Lava Plume and Flamethrower.
Behavior
Slugma have to keep moving in order to keep warm; if they stopped moving, the magma would cool and become rock, which would eventually break off and reduce this Pokémon's size. For this reason, they never sleep.
Habitat
Naturally, Slugma prefer warmer regions where they can keep their magma hot, so they are often found in volcanic regions.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
It is not known what these Pokémon eat, but they presumably consume soil and rocks to both keep the volume of their magma and collect vital nutrients for their bodies.
In the anime
Major appearances
Slugma made its debut in the anime as one of Macy's Pokémon in Love, Pokémon Style and was used in her battle against Ash in the Silver Conference. At the end of the episode, it had evolved into Magcargo.
Natasha has a Slugma that, with her Grovyle and Electrode, was used to protect her watermelon patch. It first appeared in What You Seed is What You Get.
Flannery had two Slugma named Mag and Meg, one of which evolved to Magcargo in Poetry Commotion!.

Trivia
- Despite multiple Pokédex entries claiming that it never sleeps and is on the move constantly, it can learn Rest, and is perfectly capable of sleeping.
- Its Pokémon Emerald Pokédex entry contradicts its other Pokédex entries, stating it has to sleep near magma, instead of stating that it doesn't sleep at all.
- Though it is supposedly made of magma, it appears that most Trainers can touch it without being badly burned. It shares this trait with Ponyta, Rapidash, and its evolution, Magcargo.
- Despite being a Generation II Pokémon, it was actually native to Kanto in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. The same is true for Murkrow and Houndour.
- Additionally, while Murkrow and Houndour are catchable in Johto via the Safari Zone in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the only possible way to get a Slugma before obtaining the National Pokédex in HeartGold and SoulSilver is to receive it from Primo as an Egg - it must otherwise be traded in or transferred from a Pokéwalker linked to a game which has already unlocked the National Pokédex.
- Slugma is tied with Torkoal and Litwick for the lowest Speed of all Fire-types.
- Slugma has the lowest base stat total of all Fire-type Pokémon.
Origin
Slugma is based on a slug with a body of lava. It may also be based on the Cherufe, evil creatures of rock and magma that inhabit the magma pools found deep within Chilean volcanoes. Slugma's Shiny form may be based on cooled, hardened magma, which becomes a dark, metallic color. The form may also be based on solder, a liquid metal that is extremely hot and hardens when it cools, similarly to lava.
Name origin
Slugma is a combination of slug and magma.
Magmag is a combination of magma and slug.
